Checking the current consumption
You require the following tools and equipment:
▪ Multimeter
Check whether the current consumption I
B
is within the
tolerance range:
6:
Checking power consumption
A. Switch the measuring range to direct current.
B. Connect the multimeter in series in the power supply line [+].
C. Set to 200 mA, it may be necessary to reduce the range.
➨
Result:
Power consumption I
B
is within the tolerance range (see tech-
nical data).
Checking the operating function
You require the following tools and equipment:
▪ 2-channel Oscilloscope
▪ 10 kΩ load resistor
Check whether the output signal is a perfect square wave
signal:
A. Connect oscilloscope [-] to sensor [-].
B. Connect oscilloscope [+] to sensor [Q].
C. Perform this measurement
with
and
without
the 10 kΩ load resistor
between Q and [-].
➨
Result:
The output signal is in both cases a distinct square wave sig-
nal with no interference.
Electrical interference can often be reduced by increasing or decreasing
the scanning distance. Therefore, note the minimum scanning frequency.
